childhood in their opening repertoire.

For example Bobby Fisher, Magnus carlsen, Sergey Karjakin, Nakamura, Kasparov, Wassely So, Aronian, Anish Giri used Ruylopez, Scotch, Sicilian Defense, Queens gambit, Grunfeld, Queens Indian, Nimzo Indian, French Defense as their main opening repertoire.

*** They improved their tactical skills by knowing the
principles of tactical play not by solving as many tactical puzzles as they can.

For example Anand's tactical vision cultured by learning the principles of piece play, forcing moves and playing blindfold games during his childhood

*** They started searching for good coaches early in their childhood and trained with them for considerably long time.

In an interview Gary Kasparov said that his trainers are very selective about the tournaments to be played by him.

Now-a-days after introduction of "K-factor" by FIDE in chess tournaments it is very important for the children to select right tournaments for their faster rating progress and avoid loosing rating points in a random manner.

They used this process not only for their own games but also for studying master games as well. They used to play some practice games with the engines only to check their level of play.

*** As children they concentrated more on acquiring good endgame technique
than anything else

Ding Liren is a Chinese chess grandmaster. In August 2015, he became the second Chinese player after Wang Yue to break into the top 10 of FIDE rating list. Ding is the highest rated and the highest ranked Chinese player ever to date.

*** They offered least concentration on the opening stage of the
game as children though they tried to play all the openings from both colours and never tried to reduced their opening repertoire.
